I'm trying to find a good computer that would pretty much only be used to play games. ive been looking at cyberpowerpc and my budget would be $1000 or less. Hereis the gamer Scorpius 8000 original link.http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Scorpius_8000/ ill post the specs at the end. ive got plenty of questions and am trying to get as many opinions as i can. I'm not dead set on the gamer scorpius and dont have a preference on an intel/amd processor or if its nvidia/amd video card. currently im leaning towards amd because all the intel computers I've been looking at are a lot more expensive. I've heard are amd has issues with windows 7 and cyberpower PCs are/arent very reliable.

ill be playing minecraft, war of the roses, orcs must die 2 and medieval II: total war. let me know what you think of these specs or if you have the time and think cyberpowerpc it trust worthy i wouldn't mind if you sent me some other specs for differentcomputers. sorry if this is messy I've been working all day and I'm half asleep right now. I'm sure some of grammar and wording is a little confusing. any help and opinions are greatly appreciated.

heres the specs.

Product Name: Gamer Scorpius 8000

Price: $879.00

Its fine for a prebuilt since your getting a monitor along with it for that price and will do high settings at 1080p with good fps with all the games you listed except medieval 2 but at lower settings it will run good. A good upgrade for gaming would be to get a 7870 with that pc will max out all your games at 1080p no problems.

Looked around and this one is better buy http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Mega_Special_I/ $635 base with 7770 gpu and you can upgrade to a fx-6100 cpu for free but I would highly reccomend going for the fx-8120 for only $30 it be crazy not to imo for so little more well worth the extra performance and I still reccomend going for the 7870 gpu upgrade for better performance in games and make sure to get the 500watt corsiar upgrade to power it all and don't forget to select your freebies. The cost is $782 with the7870 + fx 8120 upgrades + corsiar psu and comes out to $939 with the 24" asus monitor doubt you could do better then that without building it yourself.
